Top Ten Worst Clone Characters in Mario

darthvadern
There has been a lot of clone characters in recent mario games, here are the worst ones.

Also, Waluigi is NOT a clone.

The Top Ten

1Pink Gold Peach

Pink Gold Peach is the definition of how to not make a new video game character. It's lazy, a clone AND obscure! All mied into ONE trashy statue! Pink Gold Peach, or as I like to call it; Pink Gold Trash. This is exactly what Mario Kart fans do NOT want! And yet there are people who defends her! For no reason! They think she's a good character for... Well, they don't even have reasons. They jut like Pink Gold Peach to annoy smart people! Just because she was in a Mario game it doesn't mean she not a CLONE VERSION CHARACTER! She doesn't even have background. I would be ok if there was a game where Mario fights metal characters and Pink Gold Peach was the final boss and ruler of Garbage Kingdom. Actually just REMOVE THIS CLONE FRMO MARIO FRANCHISE! - darthvadern

And people say peach is the worst character. Smh

It’s mind blowing that Nintendo gave us this pink gold pile of garbage instead of Birdo or Diddy Kong or Nabbit and so on. They decided to give us an obscure lazy clone character. Who in the literal heck wanted her? The fact that there are people who defend her in the first place is mind boggling to say the least - Randomator

Very true, and nice list.

I would never understand why they add these "clone" characters.

2Metal Mario

He sucks but at the very least he was a power up in Mario 64 so he’s better than pgp. However he was one of the major reasons why Mario Kart 7 has one of the worst rosters in the franchise. I’d rather have Waluigi in the game. - Randomator

People defend him! Yes! People, mainly some annoying Waluhaters (Waluigi Haters) who defends anything but Waluigi (Yes they choose PGP in favour of Waluigi). Waluigi was left out in Mario Kart 7 in favour of METAL MARIO! There was Waluigi Pinball as a retro track and Waluigi was robbed by a clone made of metal! And only a few Waluigi haters understands why Waluigi should have been in Mario Kart 7. Well, - darthvadern

3Gold Mario

Another reason why Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is bad. They left out my waifu Birdo in favour of ANOTHER GARBAGE CLONE! He was a POWER-UP in NSMB2! Statues are not meant to drive! - darthvadern

Not only is he a clone but he’s a clone of another Clone! Geez Nintendo! Did you not learn your lesson with the pink gold peach mistake? What’s next? Shadow Mario? - Randomator

4Baby RosalinaBaby Rosalina is an infant version of the major character from the Mario Bros . Franchise, Rosalina . She first appeared in Mario Kart 8 as a playable character and is now one of 5 baby characters in the roster, alongside infant versions of Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, and Princess Daisy .

Like let's be real this was only created because a bunch a little girls mistook Rosalina for a princess. Listen! Rosalina is a godess who rules and protects the universe and not a "princess in distress"! - darthvadern

This was honestly bound to happen at some point but it sucks that she was created because of Rosalina’s popularity. Did they really need to ruin Rosalina’s backstory? What’s next? Baby Pauline? Baby Waluigi? - Randomator

Who asked for her? Nintendo ruined a chance to redeem themselves for giving us pink gold peach and a lazy roster by giving us a character we want! But NO instead we get Cat Peach. So let’s see we have Peach,baby peach,pink gold peach,and now cat peach! That adds up to 4 Peach Characters in one game! Do you think that’s enough? - Randomator

6Tanooki Mario

Only reason he's lower than Cat Peach is because he gives me nostalgia. - darthvadern

See my comment on cat peach. Same thing applies here - Randomator

7Dry BonesDry Bones is a common enemy species in the Super Mario series of video games since „Super Mario Bros. 3“ (1988). After his first debut as a playable character in „Mario Superstar Baseball“ (2005), he became a fan-favorite and also got playable in other spin-offs of the Mario series.

Dry Bones isn't really bad or anything, however, his FANBASE is! They always brag about how awesomne he is and always complain about Waluigi, don't you realize Waluigi is no clone but Dry Bones is? - darthvadern

At least he debuted in Super Mario Bros 3 and does act different from the koopas - Randomator

8Paratroopa

Paratroopa isn't really a clone but she did appear in Mario Kart: Double Dash! and Mario Golf: World Tour so... - darthvadern

I think he’s more of a Koopa clone than dry bones - Randomator

9Paragoomba

Just a filler entry - darthvadern

10Green Bronze Luigi

This character is non-canon. But if he beacomes a character I will definitely facepalm. - darthvadern

He’s not in any game at this point but If he comes into existence my head will explode. - Randomator

The Contenders

11Dry BowserDry Bowser is the fossilized version of the main antagonist of the Mario Bros. Franchise, Bowser. He first appeared in New Super Mario Bros. on the Nintendo DS after Bowser had been dumped into the lava and was left with his skeleton. Since then, Dry Bowser has appeared as a villain in games like Super ...read more.

In my opinion he is awesomne! He has been my favourite Mairo character for many years due to his amazing boss battle in Mario Party: Island Tour, and of course his amazing look! - darthvadern

In my opinion Dry bowser is just meh. I don’t like or hate him. - Randomator
